Despite some scary headlines about tariffs and price increases hitting the industry, we should also do our best to highlight some of the many products currently available and about to be released in the filmmaking and video space that are nice reminders that many great companies are working hard to help improve our collective filmmaking workflows and lives.

Glyph Technologies has just announced a new rugged, professional-grade external solid-state drive that promises to be quite tough and capable for all types of filmmakers, hybrid content creators, and other creatives.

Let’s examine the Atom EX20 High-Intensity NVMe SSD and explore what this option can offer for your demanding video needs.


The Glyph Technologies Atom EX20 High-Intensity NVMe SSD

Announced as part of a new Atom EX line, let’s look at this 1TB version of the EX20, a high-intensity NVMe SSD from Glyph Technologies, which promises to be a rough, rough, and pro-ready external SSD designed for creators, filmmakers, photographers, music producers, and other creatives on the move.

Set to feature a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, the EX20 is notable thanks to its read and write speeds, which can reach up to 2100 MB/s and a storage capacity of 1TB. Ideal specs for those looking to use the SSD for large file transfers, high-res image backups, and 4K video editing.

The EX20 in particular has a solid aluminum core and outer shell that should help enable significant heat dissipation, which will further help it sustain speeds and increased reliability in all types of situations.

Its MIL-Standard 810F rating also makes it shock-, vibration-, and dust-resistant, and it comes preformatted for Mac computers but can easily be reformatted to be compatible with Windows devices.

What’s also nice about these Glyph Technology drives is that they all come with their own 3-2-1 warranty plans, which allow for three years of full hardware coverage, including the USB-C cable; two years of Level-1 data recovery; and one year of advanced recovery.
